Giving children a safe and supportive home has been at the heart of Quarriers work since 1871. It’s simple, we care for children no matter how complex their needs.

Residential childcare for children

Since 1871 Quarriers has provided a home to more than 30,000 children. In the early days our role was to give children who had been orphaned a home. Now, Quarriers is one of the UK’s leading charities offering residential care for children with complex needs and behaviours. Each child is supported to reach their full potential. They can receive short or long-term care. We work with their families, care organisations and professionals to give them independence and confidence. We ensure that they receive the highest standard of care possible.

Quarriers children’s home services

Quarriers specialise in looking after children and young people aged 7-17 years.  Our residential childcare services throughout the UK offer expert care and specialised learning.  We work to instil the key values of respect and responsibility in children. We build strong relationships with them and protect their rights. If your child has complex needs they can benefit from the support and care of Quarrier homes like Seafield. Based on the Ayrshire coast its holistic, child-centred approach supports children to deal with a range of life challenges. At Quarriers, we’ve always put children first.
